<font face="Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 13px;">Good day.</span></span></font></div>
<br>My name is Vincent McDermott, and I am a freelance reporter currently working with the National Post in Canada. <br><br>To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's first manned launch into space, we are doing a supplement on the current state of space travel.<br>
<br>I am writing an article on the D-I-Y movement that is now popular among scientists, the curious and hobbyists. Myself and my editors find it amazing that the cheap availability of electronics has brought space within the grasp of the average person, when it was once a monopoly held by the bureaucracy of corporations and government agencies.<br>
<br>If possible, I would like to talk to someone about Makers Local 256 and your recent success with Hacker Spaces in Space (congratulations!).<br><br>I would like to know the history behind the project, how it was developed, how it works, how you feel about the current state and the future of space travel and so forth.<br>
<br>I can be reached by this email address, or on my phone at <a rel="nofollow" style="color: rgb(6, 88, 181);">1-647-567-1810</a>.<br><br>Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.<br>
<br>Regards,<br><font color="#888888">Vincent McDermott<br>National Post</font></span></span></font>
